Adaptive dynamic low tide gas ventilation embodiment
Adaptive dynamic low tide gas ventilation embodiment will now be described.About Fig. 8, above description is related to previously described text Valve in mound, but sliding venturi valve 850 is used to replace previously described venturi valve.
Figure 19 a and 19b show the patient interface device 1600 of completely disposable Electromagnetically-operating comprising slide literary mound In valve 1850 and external electrical coil 11401, the sliding venturi valve using be molded in sliding venturi shuttle body 11450 in rare earth Magnet 11402, the lateral sliding in disposable shuttle ontology 11460, the external electrical coil are preferably sandwiched in disposable shuttle ontology Around 11460.Sliding venturi valve 1850 accordingly acts as air interruption valve.
Figure 19 a shows the sliding venturi valve 1850 in right-hand lay, and air contact maker 11475 is to open 's.Figure 19 b shows the sliding venturi valve 1850 in left hand position, and air contact maker 11475 is closed.By a pole Property DC electric current be applied to the electromagnetic coil 11401 of external installation removable venturi valve 1850 forced to slide in one direction, And reversed polarity forces removable venturi valve 1850 to slide along another direction.Since shuttle stroke is usually less than 1/4 inch And shuttle quality is minimum, therefore shuttle easily can rearwardly and a forwardly be vibrated with the speed for being up to 15Hz.In electronic controller 404 Monitoring electronic equipment be able to detect how the electric current in coil as shuttle is mobile and changes, and therefore detects whether shuttle slides, Or whether is blocked by step and be therefore in malfunction.
Preferably, shuttle 11450 has injector 11451, which passes through rigid expanded letter communicating pipe 11453 and feeder house 1452 be in fluid communication, with ensure injector and slide venturi inlet 11455 between critical distance remain unchanged and with shuttle position It sets unrelated, therefore keeps entrainment appropriate.It is blocked for expanded letter communicating pipe 11453 in the shuttle of left hand position in situ, also serves as sky Gas interruption valve.In addition, depending on the position of outlet port 11456, adjustable disposable shuttle ontology 11450, so that prolonging completely The shuttle stretched partially or even wholly occludes expiratory air port 854, to increase mean airway positive pressure (PAP).In fact, sliding Venturi serves as integrated air-breathing, outlet valve.
In operation, when receiving high-pressure pulsating air-flow from interruption valve, venturi ontology is moved away from position of rest (open position It sets);Simultaneously because Venturi effect, gas, which enters venturi inlet by bar channel and generates flowing, to be accelerated and generates lower than ring The pressure of border pressure.This promotes gas (from environment, or coming from low tension loop) to be entrained and enter venturi.Because of venturi There is pipe bigger diameter to restore pressure, and low tidal volumes are transported to trouble so flow will slow down as its delivery port Person's air flue (Figure 20 a).When its maximum proximal position (occlusion locations) is arrived in driving, block with sliding venturi portion or fully Exhalation vents port, to reduce the flowing of exhaled gas.When venturi sliding block (is beaten after applying pulsation back to initial position Open position) when, exhalation vents port fully opens, and gas is allowed to escape (patient expiration).
According to venturi (Venture) theory, when the delivery port of venturi meets obstructions (flow x resistance=pressure) When, the intrinsic pressure of venturi will increase, and become environmental pressure, and flow entrainment to reduce (Figure 20 b).Therefore, flow The pressure reached with the horizontal place of air flue is conveyed to be inversely proportional;Therefore, when system is close to required stress level, the ratio of gas is conveyed Example almost comes from high-pressure pulsating component.
Due to Venturi effect, the flow of conveying is converted into pressure by adapting to thoracic cavity lung resistance (vice versa).This A little factors allow to optimize assignment of traffic at air flue level, to avoid preferentially ventilating, and allow mean airway pressure opposite It keeps relative stability in the elasticity and resistance of breathing structure.
In Figure 20 a, V1<V2>V3;And P1>P2<P3.In the flowing acceleration region indicated by arrow Q and R, pressure It becomes less than environmental pressure and is entrained with gas.In Figure 20 b, when applying resistance (R), venturi design is by reducing stream Dynamic entrainment is to provide pressure.
In Figure 20 b, theoretical Venturi tube 2001 shows pressure behavior according to the variation of pipe geometry.It is straight when pipe When diameter reduces at 2003, (Bernoulli effect) will be increased by the flow velocity of limitation, and according to law of conservation of energy, work as generation When entrainment, pressure must be reduced to 1 from 4, and get lower than environmental pressure P=2.By increasing the diameter of pipe at 2005, Flow velocity will decline, therefore pressure will be restored.When resistance R is applied to the delivery port of Venturi tube, the pressure in venturi becomes It is equal with environmental pressure enough to height, and carry secretly and be reduced to zero.
For example, with reference to Figure 19 a and 19b.In operation, when receiving high-pressure pulsating air-flow from interruption valve 11450, venturi Ontology 1850 is mobile (open position, Figure 19 b) far from position of rest;Meanwhile gas enters venturi inlet by bar channel 11451, it generates flowing and accelerates, and be lower than environmental pressure 11455 since Venturi effect generates.This promotes gas (from ring Border, or come from low tension loop) carried secretly by 863 and enter venturi.Because Venturi tube has more than its delivery port 11456 Big diameter restores pressure, and low tidal volumes are transported to patient airway so flowing will slow down.When driving to its maximum When proximal position (occlusion locations), venturi portion or completely obstruction exhalation vents port are slided, to reduce the stream of exhaled gas Dynamic (Figure 19 a).When venturi sliding block is when returning to initial position (open position) after applying pulsation, exhalation vents port is complete It is complete to open 854, allow gas to escape (patient expiration) (Figure 19 b).It opens and closes every time and represents a circulation (expiration and suction Gas);Therefore, if patient is ventilated with the rate of 100-300 or 600 cycles per minutes, mean venturi will open and Close 100-300 or 600 beat/min.
